Strange House is the Debut album by The Horrors'. It entered the UK album charts at #37 . The band announced the title via a MySpace bulletin on January 11, 2007. It was released on March 5, 2007 on Loog Records. Several alternative titles for the album were considered, including Through Wax Seals and Padlocks, a line taken from their fourth single Gloves. A high quality version of the album leaked in its entirety on p2p networks on February 27, 2007. The album consists mostly of previously released material, however several of these tracks have been re-recorded or remixed.
A special edition including a DVD in a gatefold digipack was also released, which contains three music videos ("Sheena is a Parasite," "Count in Fives," and "Gloves"), three live performances (one full-length and two short sets), an interview, and a photo gallery.
[edit] Psychotic Sounds For Freaks And Weirdos
The album subtitle 'Psychotic Sounds For Freaks And Weirdos', was created by two fans from the official Horrors forum (The Horum). The band's lead singer, Faris Rotter asked fans on The Horum to suggest a name for their yet-to-be-released album, before the title was finalised. The tag line 'Psychotic Sounds For Freaks And Weirdos' is not only a subtitle to the album, but is also being used on all promotional material for Strange House
